I rented a appartmemt last month from Grand jaya for the first time . I don't hesitate give a thumbs up to this place. Because I really like the location it's convenient for everything (Galle road, supermarkets , fast food and ect.) And I really want to tell when ever I had a question for the host she replied me immediately and took care of everything which not happen all the time other places. People who work for her also really helpful people. I will go back to this place again and I will recommend to anyone .

Fantastic stay as it was centrally located. Rooms are spacious, clean and tidy. The apartment is superbly well located in Colombo within easy reach of most of the shops, restaurants etc. Someone was there to assist us for any kind of problem. We recomend it to everybody.

I stayed at Grand Jaya Residence for more than a month this summer. It is located at a decent neighborhood with all facilities available nearby. There are not many restaurants around though. You need to take a cab ride for 10 minutes to reach Mount Lavinia where there are various restaurants. The apartment was nice with all mentioned facilities. Nehara was always available for any help and the workers in the building are helpful as well.

I had a wonderful time in Nugegoda. It is a spacious and very clean appartment at walking distance from the high level road but the location of the appartment itself is quite and peaceful. The bed and mattress are excellent (for tall people like me) and new as most of the things in the appartment. Very friendly people!

Deborah2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful place than I expected. Initially I was booked for a week and I had been extended for an another week too. very calm and quite place. easy access to Colombo. Super market is available within 300 m. other all facilities are available at the house (Wi-Fi, Kitchen utensils, AC etc). compare with other places pretty worth than I paid for them. Thanks for your service and keep it up Shamike. I will definitely come in to this place in my next visit as well.

Gayan2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

It's a calm quiet place. But it's an unsafe place, because we've been robbed the day we were suppose to leave and lost all the money we had. ( the thief has come to our room while we were asleep)It ruined our whole trip. I think everyone should think of the safety, as it was on the 3rd floor we didn't worry about the windows without the grills. Even one of the bathroom doors what's open to the balcony is not strong enough, anyone could break it easily from outside.

Mary2017-06-28T00:00:00Z

Everything was perfect. Shyamike looked after us really well. He was always there to answer all the questions we've had, and we were really impressed with his service. Will be coming here again next time we are in Sri Lanka

We enjoyed our stay in this appartment. Thank you Benjamin!

Oleg2015-06-17T00:00:00Z

Benjamin was fantastic. Always helpful and willing. One of the kindest hosts we have ever met. Gave us breakfast on our first morning. Some advise on sights to see. Arranged transport when ever we needed it. Also allowed us to stay longer than normal on our last day and gave us a parting gift.

Carol2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

Great place in a great location. Would recommend! Very friendly host as well!

Scott2017-04-20T00:00:00Z

Benjamin's house is truly a home away from home where u are treated not as a guest but as a family member. His wife and mother went out of their way to provide us with delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, early in the morning. And the room itself is very comfortable and very peaceful. We loved staying here and would definitely come back.

Madhura2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

Benjamin's place was the perfect spot for us to rest after our overnight flight, and it was a great starting point for exploring Colombo - close to a great beach, just off Galle Rd (the "spine" of Colombo), close to amenities and near the Mt Lavinia train station. Benjamin was the perfect host: friendly, welcoming and generous with information and advice, as we navigated the city and planned our upcoming travels. He also offered to take us to a temple and other sites when he wasn't working. His family was most welcoming and helpful too. They looked after a bag while we traveled, and they helped with a few details here and there that made our days run more smoothly. The room is perfect, as well as the private terrace that overlooks the residential neighbourhood. I highly recommend this place to anyone who doesn't need to stay in right in the heart of Colombo.

Susannah2015-09-03T00:00:00Z

thank you for everything~阳台太赞了,但离机场有些远,房子在三层,没有电梯,如果有行李请慎选。一般房东也不会帮忙,因为没有这项服务。但这次房东帮我们了,谢谢。

It's a nice aparment with private bathroom,kitchen and a big balcony!Nice position to sea and railwaystation!Benjamin helped us a lot to arrange pick up us at airport!There is mart,burger king,KFC nearby,also convinent to central city by tuktuk or train.

JULIE2016-10-03T00:00:00Z

I stayed at Benjamin's place with my cousin for 2 days , and I must say the place is quite amazing..Benjamin wasn't there as he had to fly on business but he made sure all was smooth sailing, and his brother, brothers wife and mum were very hospitable..I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wishes to stay at (URL HIDDEN) slightly out of town (25mins away) but the transport is quite efficient so that was never an issue for us. I'll most definitely stay there again when I come back to Colombo!

We were very lucky to have found Ninel's place, it allowed us to have a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Ninel was able to answer any questions we had and would help us arrange places to visit and transport. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Blanche and Chandra were also very helpful. And Chooti the dog is delightful, friendly and very playful once she knows you! The spacious apartment provided us with all the essentials and was regularly cleaned. The area isn't touristy but quite safe, we were lucky enough to watch a festival pass by the apartment. There is a supermarket up the road which sells almost everything. Although we didn't find any restaurants within walking distance, there was plenty of street food places which we enjoyed sampling and also a nearby beautiful lake with lots of food outlets. Ninel very kindly cooked us local dishes with 'hoppers' which we very much enjoyed. Mount Lavinia beach is a short tuk tuk journey away where all the touristy bars and restaurants are. Staying at Ninel's apartment was like staying with family, we were quite anxious about travelling so far away from home but the minute we arrived we were looked after so well.

Madeleine2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

This was perfect. Ninel and the nice lady watching her house were incredibly hospitable and warm. They were super helpful and inviting and we couldn't have asked for a better arrangement. The entire top floor was ours, clean, airy, and comfortable. We left Colombo for a few days and came back and decided to book the same place here with Ninel again because we had such a great experience the first time. Will definitely be staying here again if I return to Colombo.

wasim2015-02-15T00:00:00Z

Ninel was very helpful during our stay. She knows good local places and helped us arrange the rest of our trip in Sri Lanka. She is friendly and outgoing and made us feel welcome in her house. She also let us leave our bags at her house while we toured other parts of Sri Lanka before returning on the final night. She's also environmentally conscious and has multiple bins for recyclables and trash. The house had a separate entrance which is nice for getting in late without disturbing anyone. There's also a beautiful garden that is wonderful in a busy city like Colombo. Location is a bit hard to find but Ninel has printed out directions for us to show drivers. I would recommend staying here if looking to explore Colombo.

Andrew2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Ninel is a very friendly host who cares for any guests that she receives. Her advice on certain places to visit as well as what to look out for really helped in enhancing my experience while in Sri Lanka. Accommodation wise, while there were some minor, but fixable, issues with plumbing, overall it was a pleasant stay with comfortable furniture, perfect for spending a day in if at all one is in need of a good rest. Recommended accommodation for your next trip to Colombo!

Imran2015-12-27T00:00:00Z

ninel is a great host! we enjoyed staying at her place so much that we decided to use it as our base to explore Sri Lanka. ninel helped us plan our tours and book a driver to travel to historical sites and the beach. we couldnot be more grateful. she always made sure we wouldnot get scammed. this was so precious when you traveling in a foreign country. her place was spacious. nothing fancy. but very homey. she was always making sure we had everything we needed. there was a super market 300 meters away from her house. you could easily get supplies. she also taught us how to call for 3 wheelers, the service of a reliable english speaking company. trust me, in the heat, the last thing you wanted to deal with was a driver who randomly drove around trying to make extra bucks out of you. i am recommending ninel to travelers who want a carefree experience in a cozy friendly Sri Lakan house.

Cindy2016-01-19T00:00:00Z

It is difficult to describe in a few words the wonderful experienced we had with Ninel. In fact she is still a big part of our trip as she is helping with the planning of every single detail of our trip and checking we are ok while we are still in the country touring. Her support has been extreme and she has been always kind and responsive to my trillion mails for my planning. She has not only been reassuring but also solved any problem that challenge our wishes. I would say she really stands up for the value of hosting, not only for an economical contribution but rather for sharing with people her city, country and smile. We couldn't have been luckier with a perfect introduction to Sri Lanka's hospitality.

GISELA2015-08-21T00:00:00Z

Words can't describe the gratitude for Ninel as she was at our service diligently. We were a party of 4 adults and a baby which the place was able to comfortably accommodate. No grievances, no gripes, no complaints! Highly recommend

Ali2015-06-07T00:00:00Z

Ninel's place is just great, charming and spacious. It is quite far from the centre of the city, but we liked the neighbourhood and it's not far from the sea side which you can easily reach by tuktuk. Ninel is a very kind host, she will help you out with anything you need. She lives down stairs. Mind that you have to pay a little extra fee to use the AC in the bed room.
